Thursday, June 25, 2015

Everett Clinic providers in Family Medicine, Behavioral Health and Orthopedics made biographical videos in June:

James Kim, MD, who sees patients at Silver Lake Family Medicine, was inspired by his father, a pediatrician in inner city New York. “I fell in love with family medicine because of the relationship you have with all the patients from when they’re born to end-of-life.”

Sue Carmody, ARNP, sees patients at Stanwood Family Medicine. She was a registered nurse for 20 years before returning to graduate school at Gonzaga University to become a family nurse practitioner. “I try my hardest to be a very good listener. I believe that gathering your history from your patient is very, very important.”

Sally Thunselle, ARNP, sees patients at Snohomish Family Medicine. She was a registered nurse for 16 years in pediatrics, labor and delivery and as a school nurse before becoming a nurse practitioner. “I’ve lived in Snohomish for almost 14 years. I really appreciate being part of that community. It’s a great community. I see and know a lot of my patients outside of work.”

John Benedict Abaño, MD, will see patients at Silver Lake Family Medicine, grew up in the Philippines, practiced medicine there and then was an understudy with lung transplant researcher Tom Egan of the University of North Carolina before deciding on a career in Family Medicine. “I felt joy in that connection with the patient and with seeing results...at that time I knew I was going to be a family practitioner.”

Dianne Kutzke, ARNP, a family nurse practitioner who sees patients in Family Medicine and Pediatrics in Everett, is a nursing graduate of Pacific Lutheran University, worked in intensive and coronary care, and earned her Master of Nursing at the University of Washington. “I love the opportunity to teach and just be there for people.”

Megha Chadha, MD, an adult psychiatrist, sees patients for psychological issues including anxiety and mood disorders, schizophrenia, and depression. She's board certified in psychiatry and neurology. “I would like my patients to feel a sense of hope…I will do everything I can to help them live a better quality of life.”

Paul Reynolds, MD, an orthopedic surgeon with a sub-specialty in orthopedic sports medicine, has worked in the U.S. Army for the last 12 years earning a Bronze Star, for exceptionally meritorious service during Operation Iraqi Freedom, and a Kosovo Campaign Service Medal, in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. “Most of my patients come in with some level of joint dysfunction: a muscle injury, a tendon injury a joint injury. It’s rewarding to see them come in with that injury and find a way, a solution, to help them get better.”
